Everyone has their own journey. It could be an emotional, spiritual, figurative or physical journey. All different and all equally as interesting. Last month we took a journey around the world to visit all the wonderful countries where you can grab a Bondi Chai on your travels, but now let's take a look at the personal kind of chai journey.
If you visit our About Us page, you can read all about co-founders Martin and Melissa's journey to discovering chai on a fateful holiday to the United States to ring in the new millennium in New York, and the following years in which they introduced Australia to the virtually unheard-of chai latte. Almost two decades later, Bondi Chai is the most award-winning chai latte brand in the Australian market, with thousands of loyal fans around the country and exported to 17 countries around the world.
For our Digital Marketing Specialist, she discovered the chai latte while at a cafe with her mum. Visiting her family during a holiday from her stint in the UK (where the chai latte was practically unheard of), she had a sip of her mum's mystery drink and was hooked! She only ever drank tea and hot chocolate before that fateful day, but not anymore! So, when there was an opportunity to move out of Sydney after her return to the homeland, and to work with a great company and a product that she loved, she leapt at it and hasn't looked back!
We've discovered over the years, through many reviews and emails, that our wonderful customers also love to share their journeys to Bondi Chai - and we wanna hear them all!
"I first had it in a little town off of Coffs in December 2020 and wow! I went to the waiter and asked her where to get it and I was thankful it was in a little store next door, so I bought 2 packets. I wish I had bought 72. It is amazing, the taste, the smell and the smile you have when drinking it great Chai brand ever!"

"Our son has severe and multiple disabilities including being nonverbal. Ryan was introduced to chai latte but just recently he has been diagnosed as having Coeliac disease. When I gave him one from the sample pack his face was worth a thousand words. Thank you, Bondi Chai."

"For many years my wife and I have been drinking chai latte as our drink of choice. For a long time, I have been searching for chai latte in useable pouches which are tasty, affordable and convenient. By chance, I came across Bondi Chai when I did a search on the net. I first ordered 40 packets and liked it so much that I ordered a further two packs of 100 sachets. I have introduced it to many of my friends who all enjoy drinking it, and I take it with me when I travel rather than coffee or tea. Congrats Bondi Chai for making an excellent product which I will be using for years."

"I stumbled upon Bondi Chai for the first time in Kalamunda WA, at a wonderful little café. Bondi Chai was on the drinks menu, and it sounded interesting. Well, after having one at the café I also ordered one to go... hooked!"
